Trustee - Olivia Sangster-Bullers

With a career spanning the worlds of television, opera, and theatre, Olivia has held senior operational roles at leading cultural institutions in the arts and entertainment industry. From coordinating programme schedules and budgets at the BBC to overseeing operations and complex projects at the Royal Opera House and National Theatre, she brings a wealth of experience and strategic thinking to every role. Currently Head of Operations at RADA, Olivia has cultivated expertise in operational management, project implementation, and technical oversight.

Alongside her professional roles, Olivia contributes to drama school mentoring programmes and is a vocal advocate for LGBTQIA+ creative expression.

What motivated you to join the Oxford School of Drama Board of Trustees? 

I have been lucky enough to work within the arts over the last ten years. As a former drama school graduate, I wanted to apply my lived experience to OSD and add another layer of perspective at Board level.

What would you like to contribute or achieve as part of your role? 

OSD is embarking on a period of significant change, akin to the rest of the creative industries. I would like to bring my skills and knowledge to ensure a sustainable approach to delivering facilities for current and future students of OSD and help to advocate for funding and support towards this programme.

I’m looking forward to working on making a meaningful contribution to the future of OSD.
